The kid that sold it to me begged me for the next six months to sell it back to him. I ended up selling it back after 8 months. I was in the Marines at the time. Loved that thing. Never took it to a show though.

When I moved to Hawaii in '86 I bought a blue and white '76 VW van, and drove it to the Jerry Show in Hilo in '90.

In the early 90's I had a 77 VW Deluxe Campmobile. It had everything: stove, sink, refrigerator, pop-up roof, front seat hammock, and green and gold plaid seats. It looked like this:

Took to many a show
Actually stalled out in front of the Lunt Fontaine on way to Jerry show
Got out and push started it right at the front door
Line of people going in cheered as the engine tunes over
Bill Graham was just watching and smiling at the door

I had a 67 VW sq back for yrs and yrs; $500 bucks, no speedo (during the days of 55 mph nationwide!?), but it was already faded pink (from some dull red color?) on metal by the time I got it...
Known as Babar, for some odd reason.
